New heavy hauler in my stable.

[R/T93]

1999 Ford Ranger, ya'll!

Found it on craigslist. The truck was for sale at a car lot north of Seattle. Went there Wednesday, looked at it for an hour, drove it for an hour, wheeled and dealed for an hour. I paid 6k out the door. 3 month/3k mile warranty included just in case.

New tires, clutch job 35k ago, timing belt and water pump replaced in Oct 2012. The dealer I bought it from fixed the dash cluster lights, 4 were burned out, common problem apparently. Carfax showed everything good and accurate but it did show a collision. I am thinking driver side body damage, the set of keys I was given has a separate key for the driver side door. Ignition key opens pass side door only. May go to dealer and get a tumbler from my VIN to figure that one out.

I hope to get 27/28 MPG with it and keep miles off my 98.


The color is Bright Amber










Pretty low miles


Sub 120 hp 2.5 liter SOHC


I dont really have plans for this one other than driving it till I feel the urge for a full size. I think I am going to put a cluster in with a tach, from what I have read it is plug and play between 98-03 rangers or exploders.

Looks like a pretty good buy to me.

you just keep on trying to fit those PNW stereotypes.

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

same motor in mine with 271,000 on it.

I'd hate to drag that extended cab around though, mine is a stepside regular cab and it still is a huge dog.

wow, didn't know the tach was an option.

Updates?

[R/T93]

It's still slow and red.

New KYB gas a just shocks all around, much better than the blown oem's.
New timing gear 02's and serpentine going in soon along with some uprated 4x4 rear leafs.
